Why I can't mount a usb partition?

[Juanito]

Why Tinycore can't mount HPFS filesystem? Because sdb1 is HPFS/NTFS

This happens with mbr because it cannot distinguish between exfat/hpfs/ntfs - as long as you formatted the partition for ntfs, you should be able to mount it.

Hello Forum,

TRied to remember using that 3Gntfs extension here.

i remember
1) booting  TCL
2) loading the 3gntfs extension from the repo.
3) made sure no partitions or drives were mounted.
4) my drive showed 4 parts......
5) get the correct execution of the command to run the
extension in 2) above .......
give it the correct argument (flag)
of the correct "fully qualified environment drive path"  to the named partition where my TCL stuff is.....  (it is an NTFS partition)

6) it would mount and PRIME that work in 5) above..... then it would READ extensions from that location in 5) and load them...... if i told it to.

ps...but it was not a USB drive....it was a regular SSD drive.

.....is it possible the USB drive has not been correctly configured
as a whole NTFS drive with maybe some partitions inside that Larger whole partition....?

.. . .  .there is great "worth" in knowing how to start--up systems to get useful "computing operation" from the equipment.....

Yes.

Thx
